Conversely there I would say "por outro lado" or "o oposto não é verdadeiro"

I am on the same page as Telma, it´s just a different way to say the same thing.

God forbid she should have to look after him.
Deus me livre que ela precise tomar conta dele.
All dogs are mammals; conversely, not all mammals are dogs.
Todos os cachorros são mamíferos, mas nem todos os mamíferos são cachorros.
Acho que é isso.

Thanks, Rakell. I have two questions:
Is there an impersonal form of "Deus me livre"? This to me sounds like "God help me if I have to do that again!" I'm just wondering if there is another expression in Portuguese.
"Conversely" means a reversal of the parts: "the converse of 2+4 is 4+2." I'm looking for that exact sense: "Two plus four can be written, conversely, as four plus two."
Please give it another try. Thx.

If you don't want to use the word "Deus" I think you could say: "Nada permita" or "Não permita".
Could " Conversely " be vice-versa? What do you think?

Thanks. Could it be "Que nada permita..."? That looks nice to me.Rakell Grubert Pere escreveu:If you don't want to use the word "Deus" I think you could say: "Nada permita" or "Não permita".

It wasn't "Deus". It was the action directed by the object pronoun (me livre) that I wanted to avoid. "God forbid" is an expression without any real religious meaning. People also say "Heaven forbid," for instance (even atheists I bet).
Yes, 'vice-versa' sounds closer. Is there a good way to use some variant of 'transposição' perhaps?
Thx

Eu diria "inversamente" nesse contexto:
All dogs are mammals; conversely, not all mammals are dogs.
Todos os cachorros são mamíferos; inversamente, nem todos os mamíferos são cachorros.

Immediate, fantastic, free, online help. Thank you, Rakell, Telma, Paulo.
God willing we'll have a beer when you are around these parts, or conversely,... (you know the drill).
